Details

Blanket Bay Lodge sits at the north end of Lake
Wakatipu amidst New Zealand's finest scenery. Just
forty-five minutes from the world famous resort town
of Queenstown, this is New Zealand's activity and
adventure centre.

The long driveway to Blanket Bay Lodge meanders
across a green pasture where you will find sheep
grazing. To your right are magnificent views of
Mount Earnslaw. Winding down the road stunning views
of Blanket Bay and Lake Wakatipu open up on your
left. Straight ahead is the grandeur of the Humboldt
mountain range, over which cross the world famous
Greenstone and Routeburn tracks.

As you arrive at Blanket Bay Lodge and disembark
under the grand porte cochure, you will be greeted
by our friendly staff, eager to make your stay
enjoyable. The setting is picture perfect - an
alpine mountain lodge framed by majestic mountains
and crystal clear lake. World class dining, a
professionally equipped exercise facility, and a
steam room and indoor spa, complement the
extraordinary fishing, hiking, riding and water
sports activities. Blanket Bay Lodge sets a new
standard in New Zealand nature experience.

Dining at Blanket Bay is a special occasion every
night

Dinner is served on individual tables in the elegant
Lake View Dining Room with its beamed ceiling and
stone fireplace. For a more intimate affair, reserve
our Wine Cave – a perfect venue for private dining
for up to six people. On warmer evenings, under a
clear southern sky, The Terrace is a magnificent
setting with the fire behind and the mountain and
lake vistas unfolding around you….

Accommodation at Blanket Bay is provided in five
intimate Lodge Rooms, three generous Lodge Suites in
the Main Lodge, and four superb Chalet Suites all
filled with sumptuous furnishings and elegant rugs.
Natural materials are showcased throughout, echoing
the Lodge's integration and interaction with the
environment. All rooms within the Lodge are placed
to take full advantage of the magnificent lake and
mountain vistas.

The three magnificent 700 sq ft Lodge Suites offer
bedroom and sitting areas which have their own stone
fireplace, spacious bathroom with steam shower and
separate tub. Outside, each suite has a 400 sq ft
private terrace, with heart-stopping views of the
lake and mountains.

Our Chalets reflect New Zealand colonial
architecture and complement the Main Lodge through
the use of schist stone and timber beams. Each
Chalet comprises two 700 sq ft suites with open
stone fireplaces and a central living room. The
Chalet Suites may be combined with the living room
to create The Chalet Staterooms.

The lakeside Lodge Rooms each feature their own
balcony or terrace, super-kingsize bed, sitting area
and armoire. The ensuite bathrooms are lavishly
appointed with granite topped double vanities,
separate shower and bathtub.

These 400sq feet Lodge Rooms are air-conditioned
and with a choice of three music channels with high
fidelity sound, they are all equipped with
international direct dial telephones and
complimentary WiFi internet connection.
